🇯🇵🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day to our friends in the United States!

This song is very popular here in Japan and many artists often cover it. I particularly love this one.

I'm always surprised how making something from scratch, even with the cheapest, lowest quality available ingredients, make something more delicious than most chain restaurants

Upcoming releases of FSD will remember your parking preferences, so that the car goes to the right location at your home, office, school drop off, etc.

Destination parking is by far the biggest reason people now intervene with FSD. Critical safety interventions are extremely rare.

what if I want to send a car out to get something for me while I stay at home and do something else?

USA. My neighbor's mailbox has a small red flag, and yesterday I watched him raise it like a banner before battle.

I asked what he was declaring.

"Outgoing mail," he said. "Flag up means the mailman takes it."

I need you to understand what this means, because my neighbor clearly did not. You place your letter in the box. You raise the flag. And a sworn officer of the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, seeing your signal, stops at your gate and carries your words anywhere in the nation.

The flag is a SUMMONS. Every house on this street has the power to summon the federal government with one finger, and they use it for birthday cards.

In Japan, we carry our letters to the post office, humbly, as petitioners. Here, the post office comes to YOU, because you raised a tiny flag. The samurai of my province summoned messengers with seals and lanterns and rank. You people do it with a red stick, while in pajamas.

I tested it. Of course I tested it. I wrote to my brother in Japan, placed the letter in the box, raised the flag, and stood watch at the window.

Three hours. I made tea. I regret nothing.

The carrier arrived. Saw the flag. Stopped. TOOK THE LETTER. Lowered the flag — closing the covenant — and drove on, as if the miracle were a Tuesday, which, to her, it was.

It works, America. The signal works. It costs nothing. The republic ANSWERS.

A man does not ask the republic to notice him. He raises the flag, and is noticed.

My neighbor says I "send a lot of mail now." Correct. I have written to my brother, two museums, and the company that makes my preferred tea, who replied with coupons and kind words. The flag has been up four times this week.

A man with a summoning flag and nothing to send will find something worth sending. That is not an excuse. That is a philosophy.

The flag is up right now, America. What did I send?

Wouldn't YOU like to know.

It is dorayaki. For Devin at the drugstore. He will not understand, and he will eat them anyway.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

@kanjinag Where I was raised, we knew potatoes were vegetables, but they didn't "count" as vegetables.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@raviojhax Do you eat a diet of mostly whole foods (meat and veg and fruit), no alcohol, no sugar, just water or sparkling water?

And do you lift weights and do cardio 3-4 times per week?

If not, it's 99% of times that

[Smickles @smickles]

Well now, I feel compelled
